Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
can-i-help
Contributor guidance for any project — matches developer skills to data-backed contribution opportunities. `/can-i-help` collects project-health signals automatically (good-first-issue candidates, test gaps from co-change history, doc drift, bug-spots, open GitHub issues), asks about the developer's background, then matches skills to needs with concrete next steps. Each recommendation includes what to do, why (with the underlying data), how (reads relevant code and explains), and the first step. Three phases: collect (deterministic, no LLM), match (sonnet agent), guide (interactive). Validated on 100 open-source repositories across 8 languages.
Teach This Repo
Uses a real code repository in reverse for developer education: assesses the learner's profile, builds a teaching plan grounded in the repo, writes lessons and file-by-file analyses with code samples drawn from the source, supports interactive Q&A, and typesets any of it as a PDF via Typst.
